My Destiny Illustrated Book of the Moon

Chapter 141 Respective Undercurrents

Two figures walked side by side on the road, one with black hair and black pupils, the other with white hair and golden pupils, followed by a dark knight and a girl holding a magic wand.

It was Kariya, Sakuzuki, and their respective followers.

Although they were walking together at this time, they no longer had the harmonious atmosphere they had at the beginning, because of what Kariya said suddenly just now:

"Sakuzuki, can I entrust both Sakura and Rin to you?"

Hearing this, Shuoyue didn't show any emotions of happiness, but after being silent for a while, said quietly: "Aren't you going to hand Rin over to Aoi?"

Yan Ye forced a laugh: "Sister Kui can't control this child, especially after I did that kind of thing to her."

"So that's the case, with Tohsaka Rin's character, he must think that Sakura was taught badly by you, and try to save his sister out of it, right?"

"Sure enough, you also put eyeliner at home." After stopping in his tracks, Kariya put his hands on his hips and sighed, "It's really watertight."

"Thank you, since you are both a soldier and a military adviser, you need to use more means." Shuo Yue followed suit and stopped.

"I'm going to participate in the Holy Grail War, Sakuzuki."

"I seem to have said that the Holy Grail you are after cannot come true."

"People don't shed tears until they enter the coffin, Sakuyue." Kariya's face didn't waver at all, "It's like a bottle with the label of 'Regret Medicine' placed there, even if you tell me it's poison in it, I think I'll taste a pill."

"Even if you die like this?"

"Are you stupid, Sakuyue? I'm a magician, how could I be killed by a simple poison?" Kariya made a joke, then waved his hand, and walked to the other side with his followers.

The black knight followed behind Kariya like a ghost, following step by step.After the effectiveness of the three Command Seals ended, Lancelot lost his mind again, but judging from his relieved smile before turning himself into madness, it was obvious that the Flower of the Knight had obtained the redemption he wanted.

And Shuoyue watched Kariya leave, finally turned around, turned her back to Kariya and walked forward.

"Then let's go too, Miyu."

The street was empty, and there was no familiar answering voice behind him.

!!!

"Meiyou!" Shuoyue turned her head suddenly, but found that there was no younger sister behind her, only a piece of paper floated in front of Shuoyue as if she had counted the time, and he reached out to grab it.

After scanning the contents of the note at a glance, Shuo Yue tore it into pieces, with a rare gloomy expression in her eyes.

"Don't let me find you..."

----

a hidden stronghold

"The test results are out." Hisau Maiya handed the report to Kiritsugu who was sitting by the bed.

At this time, they were located in the stronghold that Kiritsugu had prepared long ago, and all the equipment inside was secretly transferred from Einzbern Castle, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a special workshop specialized in magic.

For Illya, who is an artificial human and the Lesser Holy Grail, ordinary technological means will only be interfered by the strong magic factor in her body. Emiya Kiritsugu brought Illya here non-stop, just to give her a thorough inspection.

After listening to Maiya's report, Emiya Kiritsugu took the report sheet casually, but did not check it immediately, but stared at Illya who was sleeping peacefully on the bed for a long, long time, then took a deep breath, and opened the report sheet abruptly.

The report in black and white also exuded a scent of ink, soothing Kiritsugu's tense spirit.However, what was written on this report dragged Emiya Kiritsugu's spirit into the abyss.

Hisau Maiya watched worriedly as Emiya Kiritsugu's expression changed from calm to pale, then to despair, like a cheetah whose claws had been pulled out, and finally let out a desperate growl:
"Really, is this your purpose...Shuo Yue."

"What are you kidding, what are you kidding, you bastard!"

In the report, Eliasviel's body is fine, except for the heart——

Her heart was tampered with.

The crystallization made of different kinds of magic power is hidden in Illya's heart in a tight structure. As long as the conditions are triggered, sharp thorns will pop out and pierce Illya's heart.

As for the strange magic power, the testing equipment was also matched to the corresponding source.

Caster·美游.

At this moment, Emiya Kiritsugu had already fully understood the reason why the young man didn't take Illya as a hostage, but sent her back honestly and handed her over to them.

It was as if the young man was standing in front of him, leaning over and whispering:

Do you still want your daughter to live, or do you still want to pursue the Holy Grail?

For Emiya Kiritsugu, this was an extremely cruel multiple choice question.

This means that he can only choose one of dreams and family affection, or lose both - there is no fourth option other than this.

A deadly silence descended on the stronghold, and Emiya Kiritsugu's heart was scorched by extremely scorching flames, excruciatingly painful.

Maiya on the side would not speak, she unconditionally obeyed Kiritsugu's choice and followed everything about him.

Unless, her brain has been tampered with in some way.

"What do you think is happiness, Kiritsugu?"

Emiya Kiritsugu, who was struggling in his heart, looked at Maiya in surprise, didn't think too much, but replied in a lonely tone:
"Happiness... Heh, I'm just a dreamer who hopes for world peace. Something like 'happiness' is too precious and fragile, and it's not something that my blood-stained hands can touch."

"But in my opinion, you already have happiness, Kiritsugu."

Like a bystander who has nothing to do with herself, Hisau Maiya commented on the man she entrusted her life to:
"Madame and Miss Ilya love you deeply, and you love them too."

Kiritsugu covered his face with his hands, his voice leaked from between his fingers: "Yes, I love them deeply, I love them more than anyone else in the world...I am willing to give everything for them."

But he also understands, if his own justice needs to sacrifice this innocent life, what kind of decision he, this man named Emiya Kiritsugu, might make.

"Then why can't there be 'mission' and 'dream' among all the offerings?"

The woman in black asked.

Emiya Kiritsugu trembled all over, raised his head after a long time, stared at the silver-haired beloved daughter on the bed with dry eyes.

He still remembers the feeling of embracing her and rushing all the way to the stronghold. To this day, Ilya's body is still petite and weak, just like when she was just born, and the feeling of hugging her is like a handful of first snow in his hands, as if it just needs to be slightly shaken and fall, so slender and frightening...

Can he really make up his mind to sacrifice her?Like sacrificing her mother?
……

……

……

He lost the answer.

Thinking about it now, since the winter eight years ago, something went wrong with the execution machine named 'Emiya Kiritsugu', right?

Laughing at himself like this, Emiya Kiritsugu moved his eyes away from Illya, and touched the cigarette case in his pocket.

"Second-hand smoke is not good for children, Kiritsugu, please go out and smoke."

"……OK."

　group, understand?
　　Speaking of it, I may be the only one who urges people to join the book friend group...
